How to visit the Hanoi Train Street! Hanoi Train Street is a narrow street in Hanoi, Vietnam where a train passes by you mere inches away! It has been on my bucket list forever. Access to the street is mostly patrolled by police and it’s not always easy to access. That is.. if you go to to the one in Google called “hanoi train street.” Here you have to wait for a coffee shop owner to invite you to there cafe to watch the train. But did you know there’s a second train street further out of town and this one is easier to get on the street. To get there type in Hanoi 1990s into google. This street was so much more relax. You could walk straight on with no need to get a shop owner escort! That’s because no police patrol here so its a really chill vibe and the train gets extra close than ever!

ad Want to know how to spend the perfect day in Tuscany, Italy with @jetpacglobal? - Arrive early to Saturnia Hot Springs. This place was on my bucket list forever. While it’s a hidden gem especially for non-Europeans, it still gets very busy later in the day. - Watch out for the tiny red worms 🪱(they are harmless!) and the sulphur smell which can also leave a smell on your swimsuit until washed. - I’d recommend staying at a hotel 🏨 near the thermal springs as you’ll definitely want to shower after. I stayed at 8380 Il Tiglio Verde which is family run and plus there’s cute cats living here too 🐈‍⬛ - Check out the heart ❤️ town of Montemerano, a true hidden gem only a 10 minutes drive from the thermal baths. You can have a delicious lunch with a view at Osteria Passaparola Nell’Antico Frantoio. Don’t miss seeing the frescos inside Chiesa San Giorgio. - There’s a little viewpoint of the hot springs where you can see the whole place from afar. Coordinates are: 42.6456240, 11.5124840 - For dinner 🍝, you can go to La Solina which is right next to the thermal baths and set in a beautiful garden. The tiramisu is a must! - Don’t forget to get an eSIM so you can stay connected from the moment you land in Italy.

How I started traveling the world solo! 🌎 My passion for travel started when I worked at Delta Airlines ✈️ and could travel the world for practically FREE! I started solo traveling at this time because I couldn’t benefit from these travel perks with friends outside the company since my plans could never be concrete (standby life ‑ no seats left on the flight means you can’t get on). I also tried to make friends at work to travel with but they didn’t have the same ambitions as me to go EVERYWHERE! I finally found someone who said she’d go somewhere with me ‑ but then she cancelled! My heart was broken 💔 but in that moment I decided I wouldn’t let it stop me. I was so scared and I took my first flight solo. I thought if I didn’t make the flight because it’s full it wouldn’t be meant to be. But that day, I made the flight and it forever changed me.

Fast forward 2 years and I left my job at Delta which was a hard thing to do. I then made it my mission to move abroad because I wanted to have Europe at my fingertips. It’s now been 6 whole years since I found out my dream of moving to London from Atlanta, GA (big change!) became real. While living in London, I’ve traveled to over 40 countries and I’m loving every minute of it. I hope this will inspire you to live your dreams whether it be moving to a new country or trying solo travel for the first time. ❤️ Follow my other page @girlswhowandersolo and join my FB community of solo travelers in the link in bio. 👉PS- I have an e-book explaining how I made the move to London as an American.
